One last thing, sorry, I'm probably being annoying, how do I make them smaller, just a tad?

We do need a basic ranged symbol (bow with arrow with a circle around it) – see below:


Magic Missile (standard; at-will) * Arcane, Force
Range 20; Int vs. Ref; 2d4+Int force damage.
Special: This power counts as a ranged basic attack. When a power allows you to make a ranged basic attack, you can use this power.

If you feel really ambitious, you could include the D&D logo in the font.

I would reassign the mapping for melee and basic melee. And add all attack types as basic types.

m =
r =
a =
c =

M =
R = Basic Ranged Attack
A = Basic Area Attack
C = Basic Close Attack

I like that mapping. If you look at my attachment on the second page, you'll find that I have included basic icons for each of those attacks. I apologize for taking so long with the updated dice. Life (tm) and all that. But I just ended employment with on company so my weekend is free. I hope to have them finished before Sunday.

The problem with symbols is that when you're writing scenarios your'e wasting an incredible amount of time with stuff like this. DUNGEON tried that with encounters for a while and found the same thing to be true.

I guess I really don't understand these. Could I see an example of the symbols in play? (Even a contrived example)

Here's one of me using them, too. I like 'em, even if I'm not 100% sure how it will work out long term.

Wow talk about blindness. I have looked past these so many times and never really noticed they were there...

Not sure how that makes me feel either. =S

They didn't use them originally - just used m and r and such. They uploaded the images when they started to do the steady excerpts, and that spawned this thread.

I made a set of black dice with white pips for my forums:

















If anyone wants to "steal" them, that's fine with me. Just let people know I made 'em. ^_^ Also, you might need to use a different style for the forums to see all of them properly since they're black.

Well, It took a month of upheavel at work (and a night of insomnia), but I finally got D&D 4e Icons v3 finished. I reworked the key mapping to match locustus' recommendations. I also finished making dice that match what you'll find in the PHB and MM. Nice, round, and beautiful. Finally, I found that the MM uses a icon for staged poison and disease effects. So I kit bashed a set of those as well. Be advised that those two icons have NO spacing between them so they can be placed right next to each other like in the book.

Hope this helps the community crank out some stellar 4e goodness.

Wow!

Great job Daelkyr!

These are absolutely perfect. I'm using the font to create monster cards for my games. I've attached a Word doc and pdf sample of my latest draft. These print on 5x8 index cards.

Word doc is version 2007 but opens just as well for 2003. Fonts used: D&D 4E Icons (of course), Calibri, MS Gothic (bullets only), Gaelic (title only), Courier New.

Daelkyr, maybe I'm retarded, but I installed your last updated font and it doesn't seem to work very well... I type in th characters you indicated and I only get back blank space.

I just installed it and it worked just fine, as a side note I had a prior version installed and removed it prior to reinstalling the font so maybe if you had an older version of the font installed you need to remove it, just a wild guess.
